The Hepatitis C disease has several stages:

• Incubation Phase: This is the time between first exposure to the initial stage of the disease. It can last from 14 to 80 days, but the average incubation is 45 days.
• Acute hepatitis C. It is a short-term phase of an illness that lasts for the first six months after the virus enters the patient’s blood circulation. After that, some people who have escaped the infection clear the virus independently.
• Chronic hepatitis C. In Chronic hepatitis C – up to 85% of the liver gets damaged – the illness moves into a phase longer than six months. Chronic hepatitis C infection can lead to serious health issues like liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.
• Cirrhosis Stage. It usually takes about 20 to 30 years to replace the healthy liver cells with scar tissues. Cirrhosis leads to inflammation and extreme pain in the liver. The rate of development of Cirrhosis can be faster if the patient drinks alcohol or have HIV.
• Liver Cancer. Worsen stage of Cirrhosis causes liver cancer. Regular tests are significant because there are usually no symptoms in the early stages of Liver Cancer. 

• Sharing Injection Drugs and Needles: A person infected with Hepatitis C shares its razor, blades, and blood bathed sharp objects with others intentionally or unintentionally; then it can transmit the Hepatitis C disease to others.
• Via Infected Mother To Her Child: The risk of mother-to-child or vertical Hepatitis C Transmission depends upon Hepatitis C RNA viral load. It can be prevented with the help of Hepatitis C homeopathic treatment. 
• Infected Needles: Persons who share the syringes and take drugs by directly penetrating them in the blood veins are more prone to transmit the Hepatitis C virus. 
• Having Sex with HIV or Another STD-infected Partner: There is a high possibility of Hepatitis C transmission disease from the semen or blood of the infected male to the vaginal secretion of the uninfected female or vice-versa.
• Getting a Tattoo or Piercing with Infected Equipment: The infected equipment might have drops or traces of blood, sweat, and other body fluid, which might come in contact with the blood of an uninfected person and might cause Hepatitis C.
• Sharing Personal Care Tools: Sharing the shaving blades, shaver, and trimmer with other people might lead to Hepatitis C transmission. 

• Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA): The third-generation Hepatitis C  detects Hepatitis C surface antibodies that bind to recombinant antigens derived from Hepatitis C Virus.
• Transient Electrography: It is a type of ultrasound that transmits vibrations into the liver and measures the speed of their dispersed sound waves through liver tissue to estimate its level of stiffness.
• Liver Biopsy. In this test, the ultrasound guidance is taken, and this test involves inserting a thin needle through the patient’s abdominal wall to remove a small piece of liver tissue for testing.
• Magnetic Resonance Electrography (MRE). It is a painless alternative to a liver biopsy. MRE combines magnetic resonance imaging technology with patterns formed by sound waves deflecting the liver to create a visual map indicating the regions of stiffness throughout the liver. Stiff liver tissue signifies the presence of liver scarring as a result of chronic hepatitis C.
• Blood Tests. A series of blood tests can give a reliable measure of the extent of fibrosis in your liver.
• Rapid Immunoassays: This is a highly advanced and reliable technique used to diagnose Hepatitis C. this technique is an application of modern science and technology.
